Girls that watch wrestling?

[Deleted]

Very few normal people watch wrestling period. =P

[BigJerichool222]

LMAO Why is there a thread on mythological creatures?

[celticjobber]

Nope. I don't know any.

I used to know a fat chick who was a WWE fan, but she stopped watching when Matt and Jeff Hardy left, and Undertaker semi-retired.

I can tell you it's not an acquired taste. None of the girls I've dated, including my current girlfriend for the last 2 years, were wrestling fans or became ones. And I gotta say I sort of wish they were.

When I started with my current GF, I had the choice between her and another girl. Well, what I didn't know is that the other girl is a big time wrestling fan who goes to shitty local indy shows and watches RAW every week. I'm still friends with her to this day, and I got to say... I wish I had gone out with her sometimes.

Also, the demographics of wrestling fans usually lean towards people of lower income and education. I work in a college and I make decent enough money and I'm the only person at work that admits to watching wrestling, and it definitively something you admit to and "Come out of the locker room" for, so to speak.

Just the way it is, normal people and wrestling normally don't mix. Just go to your local indy if you don't believe me.

It sounds like your trying to get a hook up guy.


I can respect that.

[cool guy]

I know a handful of girls that watch. They're normal enough, they were just raised on it by older family that were fans. That's usually how it works with people in general.

I am a girl that watches wrestling and obsessively refreshed this board tonight to avoid doing any work. But I am sure I am lacking somewhere in the the high standards you've set in terms of beauty and popularity and being smart but not too smart and totally normal. So I can't confirm that this woman exists.

I was the one that tried to get my boyfriend's into wrestling, actually - but they never got into it. They didn't like how it was fake and they were uncomfortable with the fact that they were half naked men rolling around with each other. Whatever, more for me, I guess. But they're really missing out.

Wrestling (along with video games) are I the only boyish things I like, otherwise I'm a "girly girl", I guess you can say. I dress in cute clothes, I wear makeup, etc. People are always surprised when I tell them I like wrestling.

You do know that you will be asked for a picture right? :-p

Nobody's perfect, even the person you are with, anyways. It's all about finding the one that can check the most boxes on your list of desirables.

[suave]

Jeez, now that I think about it, I honestly can't think of any girls I know that watch wrestling. To be fair, the school I go to is an old money type filled with rich douchebags and dumb spoiled girls, so not really a crowd that would typically be into wrestling. I only know one guy in real life who I talk wrestling with. YOU GUYS ARE ALL I GOT, MAN! *breaks down crying*

Man, that's crazy. Maybe I'm just that kinda guy, but if I never watched wrestling or a girl that liked me tried to get me into something she liked, I'd probably try to get into it.

Nah, they were good guys, they just didn't like wrestling. They liked hockey and football and all of those sports - my family's been watching wrestling since forever and my dad would always take my mom out on dates to wrestling shows and stuff. I sort of grew up into it.

Just tell them that they must be insecure in their sexuality if half naked dudes make them uncomfortable. Should work, or at the very least make for an entertaining moment when he goes into super-defensive mode.

The girls I know who watch wrestling are like the guys I know who watch wrestling where it's a guilty pleasure because of the social stigma attached to it and they will do whatever they can to let nobody know. Whether the workplace or friends-of-friends, there will usually be some super subtle reference made in a group setting that won't alert any non-fan, but for those who catch it something of a sonar develops until finally the "so, do you follow..." "I'm a casual fan.." conversation begins.

All kinds of girls liked wrestling at my school, they were probably more into it than the guys. Some guys liked to accuse them of being whatever the "fake nerd girl" equivalent would be in the wrestling fandom and some girls were laughed at because wrestling "wasn't for girls!" A lot of women probably don't like to broadcast they like wrestling so much as adults because of these stereotypes and other negative connotations. As an adult, everyone I know who likes wrestling is a "secret" wrestling fan anyway.

I find that as time goes on I'm less embarrassed by liking wrestling, and I'll do things like bring up Ric Flair as if he's just a regular famous person (in reference to his blood clot when we were rolling out a new blood clot tool in the hospital). Actually I'm not sure if that's as much to do with embracing being a wrestling fan as much as I just think Ric Flair is the coolest.

Wow. That's awesome. Sounds like a parallel with my idea except the genders are flipped. To me, though, this feels like more of a guy problem, as from what I know, interests vary more in males from the ones I know.


Also, that's amazing that your family is so approving of wrestling. I wish I could relate(yeah, it's turning into that, now).

Well, I have to admit that they didn't really get me into wrestling as much as they just helped to support my immense love for it by buying me wrestling merch whenever they can. I actually got into wrestling by watching a Deal or no Deal episode that the Sign Guy was in and I really liked John Cena for some reason. A few weeks later I was channel surfing, saw Cena, and just sat there and watched. I've been hooked ever since.

But yeah, they've always supported me and my dad bought us good seats (with his own money, which we're tight on) for Smackdown on 9/17. It's the thing me and him bond over.

Hey, I'm not trying to bash anyone, I mean that. What I'm trying to ask by this(and maybe the vague title doesn't help) is that if there is a girl that doesn't look like a fan, but actually is. I have absolutely no idea what you look like(you don't have to post pictures, I won't make you do that), but you just sound like you'd be open about liking wrestling or wearing t-shirts. Maybe I'm wrong, it's hard to assume things on the internet. Sorry if I'm being misleading or something.

I wasn't offended at all. But your post is alarmingly specific and cracked me up. That's all.

But you're right.

I do wear wrestling shirts. I had to talk to someone in a laundromat for 30 minutes just because I was wearing a Damien Sandow shirt. His opinions were terrible though. And you can't scroll past someone irl. You have to wait for your dryer to finish so you can leave.
